4.2 Test Equipment
•
Power Supply
: The input voltage source (VIN) should be a variable supply capable of 0 V to 10 V and
source at least 10 A.
•
Multi-meters
:
– Voltmeter 1: Input voltage. Connect from VIN+ to VIN–.
– Voltmeter 2: Output voltage. Connect from VOUT+ to GND.
– Ammeter 1: Input current. Must be able to handle 10 A. Shunt resistor can be used as needed.
– Ammeter 2: Output current. Must be able to handle 2 A. Shunt resistor can be used as needed.
•
Electronic Load
: The load should be constant resistance (CR) or constant current (CC) capable. It should
safely handle 2 A at 12 V.
•
Oscilloscope
: 20-MHz bandwidth and AC coupling. Measure the output voltage ripple directly across an
output capacitor with a short ground lead. It is not recommended to use a long-leaded ground connection due
to the possibility of noise being coupled into the signal. To measure other waveforms, adjust the oscilloscope
as needed.
